Black Ops 7 Zombies has 14 perks: twelve at launch, with the new Wisp Tea, then Mule Kick in Season One and Widow’s Wine in Season Five Reloaded. Every perk now has eight Augments, and a second Minor slot opens once all of them are researched. Prices run from 2,500 to 9,000 Essence, but a perk received for free no longer makes the next one dearer, and a perk can become Eternal and survive every down.

How perks work in Black Ops 7

WhereA machine on the map, or Der Wunderfizz, once enough perks are bought or at round 25; from the start on Survival maps and in Directed Mode

Cost2,500 Essence for the first perk, 500 more for each perk bought, up to 9,000; free perks do not raise the price

UpgradesEight Augments per perk, four Major and four Minor; one of each equipped, and a second Minor once all are researched

Free perksMystery Perk cans from T.E.D.D. Tasks give a perk the player does not have

Eternal PerksWith every perk already owned, a Mystery Perk makes one perk Eternal: it is never lost when downed

Black Ops 7 carries over the system of Black Ops 6, research progress included, and adds one Major and one Minor Augment to every perk. The three perks that were not in Black Ops 6, Mule Kick, Widow’s Wine and Wisp Tea, get eight Augments of their own. Once every Augment of a perk is unlocked, a final one, Extra Slot, lets the player equip a second Minor Augment on it.

The price follows the same scale, 2,500 Essence and then 500 more per perk, up to 9,000 for the fourteenth, with one change that Call of Duty Fandom points out: only purchases count. A perk from a Random Perk power-up, a Mystery Perk can or any other free source does not raise the price, so a player who got eleven perks for free still pays 2,500 for the twelfth. After a down, the price is set again from the perks the player still has.

Mystery Perk cans come from T.E.D.D. Tasks, quest rewards and, on Ashes of the Damned, the spores of the Widow’s Lantern, and always give a perk the player does not own. Once a player owns every perk, they turn into Eternal Perks: one perk, drawn at random, is never lost when downed, even after a bleed-out, and comes on top of the three perks a revived player keeps. It does not carry over to the next game.

Der Wunderfizz still waits for round 25, but it now also appears earlier, once the players have bought enough perks from machines; the number depends on the size of the team. On the Survival maps it is there from the start, and most of them have no other perk machine. There is no perk limit, except in Cursed mode, where a Relic restricts a player to four perks; a fifth one replaces the first bought.

Perks by map

What the map books of the Hub say about the perk machines of the six round-based maps, and of the six Survival maps that have a book here.

Map	Perk machines	Der Wunderfizz
Ashes of the Damned	Twelve machines, every launch perk, Wisp Tea among them. Quick Revive, in the Server Room, is the only one in the Janus Towers Plaza.

Paradox Junction	Random machines: only Quick Revive, behind the School Bus in Nuked Nuketown, always stands at the same place. The other perks share ten spots across the two eras, so some have no machine in a given game.	Always against the garage at the end of Trinity Ave., in the nuked era.
Totenreich	Ten machines: Quick Revive, the only one in Eidskallen Landing, Juggernog, Speed Cola, Melee Macchiato, PhD Flopper, Deadshot Daiquiri, Mule Kick, Vulture Aid, Stamin-Up and Double Tap Root Beer.

Frequently asked questions

How many perks are in Black Ops 7 Zombies?

Fourteen. Twelve were there at launch on November 14, 2025: Juggernog, Quick Revive, Speed Cola, Stamin-Up, Deadshot Daiquiri, Elemental Pop, PhD Flopper, Melee Macchiato, Vulture Aid, Death Perception, Double Tap Root Beer and the new Wisp Tea. Mule Kick arrived in Season One and Widow’s Wine with Rex Infernus in Season Five Reloaded.

What is the new perk in Black Ops 7?

Wisp Tea, introduced on Ashes of the Damned. Once the player has dealt enough damage, it summons a Wisp that stays close and kills nearby zombies for about 30 seconds, and it can be called again two minutes later. Its four Major Augments, the Masks, change what the Wisp does: the Demon does more damage, the Fox can revive the player, the Monkey draws enemies and the Maiden heals instead of attacking.

What are Eternal Perks in Black Ops 7?

A perk that is never lost when the player goes down, even after a bleed-out. A player who already owns every perk and receives a Mystery Perk, for instance from a T.E.D.D. Task, gets an Eternal Perk instead: one of their perks, drawn at random, becomes permanent for the rest of the game.

Do free perks raise the price in Black Ops 7?

No. Only perks bought from a machine or Der Wunderfizz raise the price of the next one by 500 Essence. Perks from Random Perk power-ups, Mystery Perk cans or other free sources leave it where it is.

How many Augments does each perk have in Black Ops 7?

Eight: four Major and four Minor. A player equips one of each on every perk, and once all eight are researched, the Extra Slot Augment allows a second Minor.

Is there a perk limit in Black Ops 7?

Not in the standard game: a player can hold all fourteen perks. Cursed mode has a Relic that restricts each player to four perks at a time; buying a fifth replaces the first one bought, and the limit can still be broken by Random Perk power-ups, Mystery Perks and some GobbleGums.
